National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Model
K08 Application
The attached Mentored Clinical Scientist Development
Award (K08) application is provided as a model for other applicants in
developing their K08 applications for submission to the National Heart, Lung,
and Blood Institute (NHLBI). The Institute receives frequent requests for
"model" applications and this application has been identified by the Initial
Review Group (IRG) and by the NHLBI staff as an exemplary application for use
as a model. Review of this document, however, should in no way preclude the
inexperienced applicant from seeking further advice from experienced colleagues
or from appropriate program personnel at NHLBI.
This model application contains many of the required
elements for a K08 application but it does not include the face page;
budget pages; biographical sketch (including documentation of licensure to
practice medicine in the United States); other support; letters of reference;
statements by sponsor(s), consultant(s), and collaborator(s); institutional
commitment to candidate; literature cited; consortium/contractual arrangements;
consultants; and appendix pages. Note that all K08 applicants must provide
those components in their application. Information of an identifying and
proprietary nature such as the level of effort, the timetable, the name of the
applicant and the names of collaborators, mentors and institutions has been
removed and replaced with the underline symbol "_____."
Potential applicants should realize that the
applicant in this model application has dual doctorates and comes to the K08
program with at least three years of previous research experience. This
applicant has also completed some didactic course work (graduate courses in
biostatistics, cellular and molecular physiology, etc). Not all potential
applicants are expected to have this extensive didactic and research
experience. They should, however, endeavor to describe their experience and
their career development plans with similar levels of detail and clarity.
